Travel Retail Exclusive Cosmetic Sets | October – November 2013

Travel Retail Exclusive Cosmetic Sets

Three gorgeous glosses, a powerful anti-aging duo, a skin saving trio and a quad of glam-worthy shadows…find these exclusive, limited-edition sets at travel retail locations like DFS Galleria Waikiki. Kama’aina? You don’t need to be a visitor to shop the general areas of this magnificent shopping mecca. The cosmetic floor is my vision of heaven on earth – glorious and dripping with products and sets you can’t get at the neighborhood mall. You can also park for free (yes, in Waikiki) in the slightly hidden DFS parking lot.

I should mention that besides exclusives and standard brands (Chanel, Estee Lauder, Dior, MAC) they also carry Paul & Joe, Burberry Beauty, Jurlique and Helena Rubinstein. You also need to check out their amazing Tom Ford Beauty counter and the La Mer installation as well.

No matter what your mood, there’s a perfect shade of Lip Gloss in this set. Wear the shades individually, mix them for a custom look or layer them over your favorite lipstick for a rich, high-shine finish.

Repairwear Laser Focus Smooths, Restores, Corrects produces striking visible change in lines and wrinkles in 4 weeks. Now it has improved resurfacing to refine skin’s texture for a younger look. Eyes get a 3-D improvement with Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle Correcting Eye Cream. Visibly smooths lines, plumps and refines the entire eye area in about 4 weeks. And in 12 weeks, both deliver even more impressive results. So you look younger all around.

The classic smokey eye gets a fresh update in brown. Everything you need to create the look is featured in this palette: a light base shadow (Ivory Eye Shadow); medium lid shadows (Stone Shimmer Wash, Cement Eye Shadow) that can be layered for intensity; and a dark shadow (Espresso Eye Shadow) for lining eyes. Includes a Dual Ended Eye Shadow/Eye Liner Brush.

NOTE: Use Cement Eye Shadow to shade your brows if you have light to dark brown hair. Its what I use everyday.
